Pop star Church preaches an end to Tory rule
SINGING socialist Charlotte Church squared up to the Tories this weekend as joined an anti-austerity protest with a placard reading: “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it any more.”
The Welsh pop star spoke out against more cuts at a protest in Cardiff called after the Tories won last week’s general election. She said: “This is a government that does not care about its people and is only interested in cosying up to big business.”
Her rallying cry to the hundreds gathered around Cardiff’s Aneurin Bevan statue will boost people’s confidence in the fight against cuts, protest organiser Jamie Insole predicted.
